A Non-interventional Implementation Study to Evaluate Treatment With Inclisiran (Leqvio®) and Other Lipid Lowering Treatments in a Real-world Setting

This is a multicenter, non-randomized, non-interventional three-cohort study with prospective collection of primary data of treatment with newly initiated oral Lipid lowering treatment on top of a statin (Oral LLT cohort), newly initiated Inclisiran (Inclisiran cohort) and newly initiated Inclisiran on top of lipid apheresis (Apheresis plus Inclisiran cohort) in routine clinical care. All procedures, treatment adaptions and laboratory assessments are part of clinicla routine and conducted independent of this study.
